Pros: Everything! Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped, plenty of showers and bathrooms, excellently located less than 10 minutes from airport and across the road from 5 kilometre sandy beach. Plenty of cafe/restaurant/bars immediately adjacent. Lovely terrace for the enjoyment of guests. Continental breakfast provided.

Cons: Its not possible to do laundry in the hostel! If you need to wash your clothes you have to Take the Bus to the city Center which Takes 30minutes and 2,30€ each way because you cannot even do it somewhere Close by! Airport is pretty close which is a bit noisy! The keys did not Open the doors properly, so it was difficult to get in the room every time! People locked themselves frequently in the toilet (including me) because the lock wouldnt open. Breakfast could have been better

Pros: Right next to the beach. Lovely terrace and good breakfast.
Cons: For the price I’d expect a lot more. Rooms were very basic, locks stuck and the doors where hard to open so you were woken up every time someone came and left. Beds were hard, my Locker didn’t lock, towels cost extra, noise was bad as the walls were thin. No staff really around.

Pros: Staying at the Le Penguin Hostel has been one of the greatest traveling experiences so far. The hostel is near center, on the other side of the street there is a big supermarket, where you can do your groceries and the ferry is only a 15 minute walk away. You can get awesome dinners every night for 6€, cooked by the hostel owner Diego which are always on point! The atmosphere is amazing, good music playing all the time and fun group activities every evening. The staff in general is very welcoming, funny and laid back. The garden downstairs has a really chilled vibe and is a great place to meet new people or to get over your hangover from last nights drinking games. We became real good friends with the staff and the owner, which is why we‘ll definitely come back as soon as possible! I can‘t hype enough about this place, so maybe just go there and convince yourselves! You won‘t regret it

Pros: The large living room and back garden was nice though I didn’t really use it.
Cons: The bathroom was not in good shape. Though it looked clean, there was unflushed items in the toilet. Water pressure for the toilet and shower was very low. I picked this place because of the distance from the train station, since my luggage wasn’t easy to move around (I had a bicycle with me). I checked in at night to find out that my room is in another building 3 blocks away. That’s tough to accept after a long day of travel.
5.8 Okay
Pros: The staff were very friendly. The wifi worked well
Cons: The bathrooms were honestly disgusting. I stayed here two nights and I purposely avoided showering on the second day and waited to get to my next accomodation. Even wearing flip flops in the shower does not help - the drains are clogged and the water fills up everywhere, it just didn’t look like it was ever cleaned and I never saw the staff cleaning them while I was there. Room was right next to a busy road as well so it was loud and difficult to sleep, room was also extremely hot. I was glad to leave
